Welcome to the webpage for Sonic Overload. As my regular listeners know by now, I play punk, hardcore, garage and other loud music, although there are surprises from time to time as well as decidedly slanted commentary on the “issues of the day” and that’s also presented through song selections and audio clips.

Recent shows can be streamed or downloaded from the archive at sonicoverload.blogspot.com. And check out the Facebook page.

Another louder than usual one, I suppose. There was plenty to get to. One set starts with a tribute to Al Aleicho, vocalist for the Newport, RI band Vicious Circle, who passed away after a seven year battle with cancer. I used to love going to Providence and Newport to see his band and others play and they sometimes found their way up north, as well, especially Verbal Assault. I defiitely felt a connection with the smaller scenes around New England since they felt a little more-inviting and welcoming of people who weren’t necessarily part of any crew. That’s what it was all about, kids. Fuck cancer!
